User’s Review:

You can spend loads of money on textbooks during medical school, and this book offers great value for money!! It provides an excellent account of what medical students need to know about biochemistry and metabolism, which is a complex topic often not taught too well in medical school. Lectures on it can be very boring and not easy to follow. Working through this book in your own time would be much more useful. It provides all the information medical students need to know on the subject. My only critique is that in some places it goes into more detail than you may need to know, but this means that it caters for those students aiming for honours. The layout of the book is great and it is easy to follow. I’m a final year medical student at Sheffield and I would definitely recommend this book to medical students, particularly those in first and second year when this topic is often examined.

As a medical student at the University of Cambridge, this book is invaluable for revision and learning of key principles, and in linking them to clinical cases, it serves to make them much clearer. The first principles section is useful for understanding the key concepts and mechanisms relevant to the course, and other chapters go into more detail on structures. Because of the layout, linking all the content to clinical cases, this Eureka book makes the subject matter feel significantly more relevant, and also improves your ability to remember and recall the content. The layout is clear, with lots of useful diagrams, and not as overwhelming as other textbooks can be for medicine courses; this means all the information is exactly what you need for your course, without being too in depth, so you can explore further yourself where necessary. Overall, I’d recommend the Eureka Biochemistry and Metabolism book to any medical student, especially those who, like me, struggle more with the Biochemistry side of the course.
